A 25-year old mother in Spokane (picture above) was arrested after witnesses say they saw Destiny Ahenakew throw her one-year old child over a fence and down a hill.

KXLY-TV reports a painter, working on a house Saturday afternoon, called 911 to report Ahenakew and her son came into the house. She asked for a glass of water. The man was concerned the pair were homeless.

Soon after the call, the man said he saw Ahenakew throw her child over the fence, down a fifty foot slope.

Another witness hopped the fence and retrieved the child, who is expected to be okay. His mother is charged with 1st degree felony assault on a child.
